Vocabulary Quiz - Fractions, Decimals and Percentages 1

The quiz is designed to test Year 6 students' understanding of fractions, decimals, and percentages. The first question asks what a mixed number is, with the correct answer being a whole number combined with a proper fraction, which represents a number situated between two whole numbers. The second question delves into the meaning of percentage, which is correctly defined as a proportion of a whole number expressed as a value out of a hundred.

Further questions explore the concept of equivalent fractions, which are fractions equal to one or more other fractions, and the effect of dividing a number by 100, which results in all digits moving two places to the right. The quiz also clarifies that the denominator is the bottom number in a fraction and defines a unit fraction as any fraction with a numerator of 1. Additionally, it explains that one thousandth refers to one part out of a thousand equal parts, and a number with a numerator larger than the denominator is known as an improper fraction. When a fraction is expressed in its lowest form, it has been simplified, and the symbol % stands for percentage.
